I have had my truck and van both worked on in a matter of a week. Really like the txt information provided with pictures of the inspection and work needed. The repairs were done quickly and the customer service is top notch. Will be a regular customer.

I had called my dealership and they couldn't get me in for 5 weeks for a strange noise. I was able to make an appointment with Ulmer's and the repair was completed within a day. Now I feel a lot safer driving my car.

Ulmer's Auto Repair is an outstanding, professional and trustworthy shop. The most up to date technology in keeping me informed throughout the day of my repairs with photos was unexpected and very much appreciated! Thank you, Amanda and the entire team!

Ulmers is the best, we trust them to tell us what is wrong, and the best approach to fixing it. They have easily extended the life of several vehicles we have had over the years. My current vehicle had a service agreement with a local dealership, but as soon as that ended, we brought it to Ulmers for a bumper to bumper. My car is driving like it is brand new again and we look forward to having Ulmers take care of it going forward!

19:06 22 Nov 23

Best shop in Cincinnati. Very professional ! Attentive to customers explanation of symptoms . Fixed a problem on my vehicle that only a true technician would be able to diagnose and repair .

17:51 22 Nov 23

I love that when I bring in my car for even something small like an oil change, they assess the full car and make suggestions, with photos, of what to fix. Then they allow me to decide whether or not to fix it.

I’ve been a customer for many years and always been happy with the fantastic, professional experience. Ulmers does all the necessary work very well and doesn’t try to sell me things that I don’t need. I’ve more recently discovered that they have great tire recommendations. I’ve been so happy With the tires I bought there. They have performed better than other replacement tires.

Ulmer's has been keeping my Ford Escape on the road for twenty years. Yes, twenty!! Regular maintenance, repair and basically rebuilt it from the ground up over time.

We were losing air from a tire - turned out we picked up a screw. Scheduled it for repair and they took care of it... and since we bought our tires there, to my pleasant surprise there was NO CHARGE for the repair! (At Tire Disc. you have to BUY road hazard insurance!) Thanks once again to the good guys at Ulmer's.

This was our first experience with Ulmer’s Auto Care at their Anderson Township location. Our friends had been dealing with them for years. Anyway, I was pleasantly greeted as soon as I entered the office and asked about my reason for my visit. I explained my situation: Our vehicle just serviced by Beechmont Toyota, which left me with doubts about that some service points had been listed as in good condition, a specific area of concern ended to be “watched and rechecked at next servicing”. That particular area sounded serious to me, so I stopped at Firestone Auto Care to have them check out what had been described as a problem. Per Firestone there was no “problem” detected in the rear suspension or wheel/brake/tire area, and at this time I saw the “rear end” area of my vehicle. I learned the “rear end” of my vehicle was not what is found on front wheel drive vehicles. There is no drive shaft from the engine to a bell housing axle as in rear wheel drive cars. At this point I opted to take our vehicle to Ulmer’s Auto Care for them to give our vehicle a complete check over. Everyone at Ulmer’s greeted me and listened to “my story and concerns”, and I was able to leave my vehicle immediately for them to perform my requested service. I received a call shortly afterward, was provided with a list of items needing to be repaired/replaced and a total cost. The concern “the rear axle assembly needing to be followed” as described by Beechmont Toyota was not only not needed, there is no such assembly existing on our vehicle. I was explained in detail the repairs needed; some of which were supposedly checked by and reflected as in good working order by Beechmont Toyota; and all could be performed and my vehicle available the same day. There was one condition that was related to after market lowering springs that was tested and retested over two days that was not a problem causing danger, just a nuisance noise situation, but diagnosing this did not result in any additional cost; which was greatly appreciated by us.A convenient and appreciated service also provided by Ulmer’s is courtesy service to pickup customers or drop off of customers by their courtesy van.I can only say that Ulmer’s provided personal services above and beyond what we have experienced with Beechmont Toyota with our current Scion and previous Scion vehicles, or Honda East with our previous vehicle.We will be using Ulmer’s for all our future servicing needs on our Scion XB vehicle.The five star review is the best under this scoring system, but were it possible I would add five more stars to the score. The people are all A++++++ and work the same.

My son’s car had a broken axle and needed to be towed. This was my first experience with using Ulmer’s. Brandon provided great customer service and keeping me informed throughout the process from getting the car to the shop, to getting a quick estimate of the work needed. Work was done in a timely manner and the car is back on the road.

Family has been going to Ulmer’s for darn near 70 years. They know your name. They know what they’re doing. You leave from talking with them feeling better about the world. And let’s face it, that’s all that matters. Because cars eventually break, even when they’re meticulously cared for. But the kindness they generously offer to your spirit doesn’t break. And the thing is, if your car breaks, it’s not a big deal. Because Ulmer’s can fix it. And they’ll be candid and clear and kind with you from start to finish. But if you let Ulmer’s care regularly for your car, it probably ain’t gonna break as much as if you didn’t. So go ahead, hit that “call” button, and give ‘em a try.

First time ever to have my 2007 Solara services at Uhlmers. Best service ever! Each item checked was verified with a photo or a green checkmark indicating "ok". Definitely lives up to its reputation! With 6 locations, it's fairly convenient. Now, to move some service to the WESTSIDE, please!!!!

The team at Ulmer's worked very hard to get my job done right, although they had to spend a lot of time and effort to do so as my car wasn't very cooperative, lol. Great service, great people to work with !

Took my daughters car here for the Bumper to Bumper check. The check engine light was on....they diagnosed and fixed the car quickly. The service is absolutely top notch. From making the appointment, performing the repairs to picking up the car. Will be my go to place for auto care going forward. Highly recommend. UPDATE: All of my vehicles now go solely to Ulmer's in Anderson.

Dropped the car off Sunday night - no appointment for Monday but I knew something was terribly wrong. Monday morning I called early hoping I could get into the work queue. They were able to troubleshoot and diagnose by Monday afternoon and order parts for work on Tuesday. That afternoon I got my car back via a courtesy drop off at my house! Now that’s service! Thanks a bunch fellas! Always courteous and honest advice.

Excellent service! My car is working great after an entire exhaust system repair/replacement. Also let me know if other issues that would need service soon. My choice was to get these done and save another trip for repairs and/or replacements in the near future. Checked over the whole car to let me know of things that were working great too! I will be back if needed!

Came here after the dealer told me that I'd have to have my car towed because the engine light was blinking. A bad fuel injector was the problem. The dealer had replaced one of them about three weeks before. The guy at Ulmers told me I had one good injector, one bad injector and two injectors that did not look good ( he said something about them having high resistence. ) I asked him what he thought and he said to replace the three that the dealer had not replaced and gave me a quote that was less than the dealer had for the one.That was four years ago.Ulmer's has become my go to car repair place. They are always friendly, helpful and do what they say.

Phillip T.

16:34 17 Aug 23

Excellent and honest evaluation/diagnosis of problem. Sent me detailed photos for me to evaluate. We discussed the cost of the repair vs. age of vehicle. Great shop highly recommended.

Believe it or not when it comes to untimely auto repairs, I actually enjoy ( or at least not stress) when it come to scheduling an appointment with Ulmers. I’ve used several shops in the past including actual dealerships but by far I’ll use Ulmers. The honesty and craftsmanship is what brings be back. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you guys and all the team for what you do.
